Testing for "Let's Go Hunting" by Renee Ewert
I like the concept of "hunting" for a specific letter/word/number and how this activity can be adapted to practice/reinforce any skill you are working on throughout the year. Maybe you could expand on the type of grids that would be necessary for the lesson. My students have enjoyed using this method of introduction and practice of a skill. We add "hunting" for shapes. What a fun way to use Bee-Bot!
